Really? Can you provide a reference to back this
assertion up? And why would it do such a thing?
What's the technical or business advantage to doing it?

What is the correct place? Actually, I don't care a whit
about whether Safari supports Midas, per se, or not --
I do want full WYSIWYG editor support in Safari so that
Safari will work with the same web applications that
MSIE and Firefox will work with. If Safari does not
implement Midas, that's fine -- but Apple provide the
authors of TinyMCE, HTMLArea, Kupu, and other editors
with alternative methods for implementing needed
functionality in that case.

What if everyone took this approach? "If you want to use
web application XYZ, you should use the browser that
web application XYZ supports." Are you saying (by extension)
that it is better to tell people to use MSIE or Firefox
to access their wiki, blog, etc., and that these people
should not use Safari? Or is is more reasonable to ask
Apple to extend the support which is already in Safari
so that everything fully works with Safari?
